The insider added: “There are a few details to iron out, but it’s coming soon and it’ll be beautifully intimate and perfectly them.”
John Cena meets teen who fled Ukraine
WWE Superstar John Cena has met up with a young teen who fled Ukraine. The refugee was told by his mother that they were on their way to meet his wrestling hero to inspire him to get out of the country, which was invaded by Russia over 100 days ago.
Misha Rohozhyn is 19 and has Down’s syndrome, and was forced out of Mariupol when the Russian invasion started. Now, his dreams of meeting Cena have come true, as the sports legend and Peacemaker actor was left inspired by his story.
Cena said: “Having three days off from work right at the time I read the story, and being an hour away [from the Netherlands] by air, it turned into ‘We’re going.’ And that means spending an afternoon building blocks, eating cake – that’s a special afternoon when it comes to new friends I was able to meet.”

Some of those watching this year’s series of Love Island have criticised some of the casting decisions, especially after 27-year-old Davide decided to couple up with 19-year-old Gemma.
The youngster, who is the daughter of football legend Michael Owen, had previously said she had been single for a year-and-a-half, meaning that her last relationship would have been when she was just 17. It was a strange topic of conversation on a show where the minimum age to join is 18.
Some took to Twitter to ask for the minimum age requirement on the show to be raised to 21, with one fan in particular saying: “I don’t want to see a 19-year-old kissing someone who’s pushing 30.”
